Prosecutor resigns after email suggesting WI gov do a fake assassination attempt on himself leaked

[ck4829]

For the second time in a month, an Indiana prosecutor has lost his job because of volatile comments about unions.

Johnson County Deputy prosecutor Carlos Lam resigned Thursday, after admitting to writing an email to the Wisconsin governor, encouraging violence.

It suggested hiring someone to stage a fake attack with weapons on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, in order to stem the uproar over collective bargaining and undercut union support.

The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism obtained the email, which was sent February 19th from Lam's personal account.

2. Focker alluded to a similar thing during the "prank call"

about planting stooges among the peaceful protesters around the Capitol to incite violence.

The GOP is all about making some bullshit up, then governing "accordingly."

Total shock doctrine tactics -- a future based completely on bullshit.

3. "Resigns?" Is that it? How about "conspiracy to incite a riot?"

If this plan was enacted, what have been the outcome? Riots? Violence in the streets?

He should be brought up on criminal charges. Simply "resigning" isn't enough...

7. Did Walker fire him when he received the email????

8. The prosecutor served in Indiana, not Wisconsin.

9. Makes sense that there is multi state communication on implementing these plans

how may other Reps have jumped on the overt "union busting bandwagon" since Walker started his processes?
